Global projection of lithium demand for batteries by type 2017-2025

The data illustrates a projection of the worldwide demand for lithium for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries from 2017 to 2025. In 2025, the demand for lithium for non-rechargeable batteries is expected to reach 4,450 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent. Increases in battery demand will be a strong driver of lithium consumption in the near future, but producers are currently limited in their ability to match demands.
